Additional Example 1A: Estimating Square Roots of Numbers
The square root is between two integers. Name the integers. Explain your answer.
55Think: What are perfect squares close to 55?
72 = 49 49 < 55
82 = 64 64 > 55
55 is between 7 and 8 because 55 is between 49 and 64.

You want to sew a fringe on a square tablecloth with an area of 500 square inches. Calculate the length of each side of the tablecloth and the length of fringe you will need to the nearest tenth of an inch.
Additional Example 2: Application
484 < 500 < 529 List the perfect squares nearest 500.
Find the square roots of the perfect squares.
The length of each side of the table is about 22.4 in., and you will need about 89.6 in. of fringe.
The number will be between 22 and 23.
The length of each side of the square is √500 .
Check It Out: Example 2
A tent was advertised in the newspaper as having an enclosed square area of 168 ft2. What is the approximate length of the sides of the square area? Round your answer to the nearest foot.
The length of each side of the square is √168 .
144 < 168 < 169 List the perfect squares nearest 168.
Find the square roots of 144 and 169.
< < √168√144 √169
12 < < 13√168
√168 13
Each side of the tent is about 13 feet long.
168 is closer to 169 than to 144.
Approximate to the nearest hundredth.
Additional Example 3: Approximating Square Roots to the Nearest Hundredth
121 < 141 < 144 Find the perfect squares nearest 141.
Find the square roots of the perfect squares.
The number will be between 11 and 12.
The whole number part of the answer is 11.
Step 1: Find the value of the whole number.
Approximate to the nearest hundredth.
Additional Example 3 Continued
141 – 121 = 20Find the difference between the givennumber, 141, and the lower perfect square.
Find the difference between the greater perfect square and the lowerperfect square.
Write the difference as a ratio.
20 3 ≈ 0.869
Step 2: Find the value of the decimal.
144 – 121 = 23
20 23
Divide to find the approximate decimal value.
11 + 0.869 = 11.869Combine the whole number anddecimal.
Round to the nearest hundredth.
Step 3: Find the approximate value.
11.869 ≈ 11.87
Approximate to the nearest hundredth.
